Ill. Admin. Code tit. 50, § 2040.50 - Employee Eligibility for Existing Group Coverage
a) An issuer of group health insurance
coverage under the HMO Act shall allow an employer to continue covering an
employee even if the employee would otherwise become ineligible under the terms
of the coverage or the group health plan due to a reduction in hours worked or
temporary lay-off. This requirement to allow an employer to continue coverage
does not mean coverage under a COBRA continuation provision or Section 4-9.2 of
the HMO Act. An issuer may not prevent an employer from continuing to cover an
employee at the employer's discretion as provided in this Section regardless of
any "actively at work" or similar eligibility requirements in any group health
insurance coverage or group health plan.
b) An issuer may not discriminate among
similarly situated individuals as provided in 50 Ill. Adm. Code
2001.9
when making the allowances required by this Section.
